🚨 Posts on @X & Telegram have circulated names, photos, and at least one address of @RNLI crew from a recent Portsmouth rescue, leading to reports of intimidation and family distress. Defective, radicalised, far-right men openly refer to these brave RNLI heroes as "traitors". The X account below is run by Ryan Ferguson, a far-right shit-stirring "content creator" from the Liverpool area. He uses TikTok and YouTube to spread his divisive hate, describes himself as a nationalist, and posts frequently about immigration, asylum hotels, and related protests. Local reporting describes him as a former football hooligan with convictions including racially aggravated offences and wasting police time; he later became a visible figure at anti-migrant demonstrations in the North West. These broken far-right men are already ruining lives: without urgent action, they are going to get someone killed. It makes me fucking sick to see people like Zia Yusuf nodding along to what the organisers of these unlawful masked protests have got to say, while Rupert Lowe sings their praises. What a fucking country we've become where senior political figures can normalise racism, use dangerously irresponsible dehumanising bigoted rhetoric almost daily, and praise intimidating masked vigilantes wearing militaristic uniforms reminiscent of Oswald Mosley's fascist blackshirts. Did they learn nothing from history? Or are they themselves just bigoted, radicalised extremists who have far more in common with the actual Nazis than any of us want to believe? Maybe Rupert Lowe, Zia Yusuf, Danny Tammo, Tommy Robinson and all the British far-right masked men blocking roads genuinely don’t know that in WWII, many British people and foreign-born allies died fighting against a regime which: - embraced the ideology of ethnic nationalism - treated migration as an existential threat - pushed a story of national decline caused by 'outsiders' and a disloyal indigenous 'elite' - claimed their own culture was superior to others - treated ideological opponents as "traitors" - scapegoated a visible out-group - deployed street mobilisation to intimidate fellow citizens and force the state’s hand - had a stated preference for authoritarian order and expulsion over liberal democracy and individual rights - embraced conspiracy thinking around race 'replacement' and who is 'really' opening the borders. Sound familiar?
